+Now that your repository is on GitHub, you need to do one more step to set up your project's documentation website.
 The HTML documentation will be built using the `Documentation` workflow (that we're going to fix) and hosted on [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/).
 
 If you scroll back in your terminal to the end of the [cookiecutter] questions, you should be able to find a message like:
 
 ```sh

-'Source' drop-down and 'gh-pages' for the 'Branch' drop-down, leaving the

+and under 'Build and deployment' selecting 'GitHub Actions' for 'Source'.
 ```
 
 As before replace `{github_owner}` and `{project_slug}` with the relevant GitHub repository owner and project slug that you chose at the start.
 
-The first part of the instructions explains how to set the permissions for GitHub Actions.
-This lets the Actions bot push the built HTML documentation to a branch `gh-pages` when you update the default `main` branch.
+Following tha instructions printed to the terminal, go to `https://github.com/{github_owner}/{project_slug}/settings/pages` and set GitHub Actions as the source for GitHub Pages.
 
-- Go to the Actions settings page at the URL above (or via the repository `Settings` tab, then `Actions > General`).
-- Set `Workflow permissions` to `Read and write permissions`.
+- Set `Source` to `GitHub Actions`.
 
-Now that the permissions have changed, we need to re-run the `Documentation` workflow.
+Now that the source settings has been changed, we need to re-run the `deploy` job in the `Documentation` workflow.
 
 - Go back to the Actions page. Select the Actions button (in the top bar), or visit
   `https://github.com/{github_owner}/{project_slug}/actions`.
 - Click on the failing entry for the `Documentation` workflow.
-- Click on the `Re-run all jobs` button (top right of the page).
-
-After the `Documentation` workflow finishes, a new `gh-pages` branch will be created containing only the HTML docs.
-
-Following tha instructions printed to the terminal, go to `https://github.com/{github_owner}/{project_slug}/settings/pages` and set this branch as the source for GitHub Pages.
-
-- Set `Source` to `Deploy from branch` and `Branch` to `gh-pages`.
+- Click on the drop down ▼ symbol next to `Re-run jobs` button (top right of the page) and click `Re-run failed jobs`.
+- Click `Re-run jobs` button in dialogue box which appears which should list the `deploy` job as the failed job to re-run.
 
-This will start another new workflow called `pages-build-deployment` (in the Actions page).
 When it finishes, you can view your HTML docs at:
